Trump Probes Can De-weaponize the Justice System — Starting with Alvin Bragg’s Daniel Penny Case
Trump can strike a blow for the rule of law and restore public faith in the criminal-justice system if he uses his executive order not just to defend himself against lawfare, but to undertake the harder work of pursuing the abuse of state and local criminal justice.
In his second Inaugural Address, President Trump declared that “the weaponization of our Justice Department will end” and promised to “re-balance” its scales.
Hours later, he issued an executive order adding teeth to that pledge.
Because the Biden administration “engaged in an unprecedented, third-world weaponization of prosecutorial power to upend the democratic process,” Trump wrote, the president directed his administration to investigate the involvement of all federal agencies.
